I suppose I could be confused, then. I saw mention here: http://www.sane-project.org/man/sane-coolscan3.5.html
The backend must not be directly associated with SANE, then I take it? What I took from that documentation was; Set --batch-count=2 (and probably --batch, as well I would imagine), and the --infrared=yes tag and it should work, however no combination got it working, that I could find. I guess I'm just a little confused. Thanks again On Fri, Aug 17, 2012 at 1:55 PM, m. allan noah <kitno455 at gmail.com> wrote: > infrared is not supported in the sane protocol.
